For several months, Prison Radio has been receivin

For several months, Prison Radio has been receiving and amplifying the voices of women calling in from Huron Valley in Michigan. They've been consistently reporting on the overcrowding, mold, sexual harassment, inadequate healthcare, and much more. Although Women's Huron Valley has been problematic with its overcrowding and abuse long before COVID, the pandemic has exacerbated the problems and has made it much more urgent for us to take action. These conditions have led to a COVID surge at Huron Valley. According to the Detroit Free Press, the facility "constitutes 60% of all known cases [of COVID] among the incarcerated in the state."

We need to take immediate action. There will be a protest rally on Sunday, January 16th at Women's Huron Valley. Please rally and show up if you are in the Michigan area, and share this flyer with people you may know in the area.

This highlights the urgency of Mumia's situation. We need to act to get him out. @lovenotphear is leading the charge in a campaign to change the public narrative around Mumia and to show the people of Philly and the world that he is a righteous man and deserves to be free.

But we must act now before its too late. Things you can do: Donate, share his work, tell your friends and family about him, show up to the rallies. Lets bring Mumia home.

#LoveNotPhear is a Philly based activist group that after decades of protests are left with a tough question, “What does it take to stop hatred and where is the hatred coming from?” It’s our belief that hatred is a sickness that the society has infected people with and the cure for that infection is love. Therefore our mission is to spread love and challenge fear. Love is the catalyst for change. Without change there is no progress.

This is the last day of our fundraiser for the year. Your generous donations will help us keep Mumia's voice heard, help expose the medical neglect occurring at Huron Valley, and aid us in our fight to bring folks home.

We are only able to do this work with your help. Thank you for joining us on this journey towards justice.

Dear friends, there is one day left of our campaig

Dear friends, there is one day left of our campaign, and we are still $9,000 short of our goal.

Your generous donations will help us continue our work towards a more liberated society. We will continue to fight to abolish this broken system. We will continue to fight until we bring Mumia, and all other political prisoners home.

Please join us in on this journey.

We are reaching the end of our campaign, with just one day left to hit our goal. We need your help now than ever. We are still $15,000 short of our goal so donate and share our campaign with your friends and family.

Prison Radio is proud to announce our collaboration with a new campaign to free Mumia and all political prisoners. Lead by Mumia's grandson Jamal Jr. and Mike Africa Jr, Love Not Phear is going to be leading the charge for Mumia's liberation. Together we will move towards a beautiful, equitable and just future where Mumia is freed and is returned to his family.

The renewed campaign to bring Mumia home is being spearheaded by his grandson Jamal Jr., and Mike Africa Jr.

The beautiful, loving, equitable, and just world we are bringing forth will include Mumia Abu-Jamal.
In freedom.
With us.
Our Freedom requires nothing less than his return to his family and his home.
This means moving beyond hollow words and symbolism. Frank Rizzo's statute is gone, yet his racist legacy remains. Give us every single person that police corruption stole from us.
Every mother. Every father. Every brother. Every sister. Home.
The citizens of Philadelphia and our relatives around the world, can only be free from the legacy of police corruption and the ever present fear of the police when every single member of our families are returned home.
Free. Them. All.

2021 was a momentous year for Prison Radio, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you. You have stood right beside our correspondents willing abolition into being. You’ve proven that our radical momentum—from the resurgent protests of last year to the historic struggles of the last century—continue. It is a long walk but we are nearing freedom. Here’s what we were able to accomplish with you by our side.

We published Perfecting Tyranny the third installment in Mumia Abu-Jamal and Stephen Vittoria’s Murder Incorporated trilogy, a epic project that interrogates and exposes the inherent violence of empire. Through thousands of pages of poignant commentary, Mumia and Stephen have created an insightful and fundamentally insurgent message.

This year correspondents, both new and old have shared with us their powerful stories of repression and resistance. In April, we aired commentaries from Naykima Hill and her comrades who continue to stand up to horrific mistreatment at Women’s Huron Valley. We’ve also aired the incisive poetry and rap of Izell Robinson, the deep essays of Uhuru Rowe, and the eloquent analysis of William Noguera. Of course, our most prolific correspondent is Mumia as he speaks prolifically on the most pressing issues of our time.

Prison Radio remains committed to fighting for the freedom of our friends and family who remain trapped behind bars in the belly of the beast. For 30yrs we have accompanied our correspondents. In 2022 we promise many of them will come home. We hope that you continue with us. Again, absolutely none of our work would be possible without you. For that, we are grateful.
